A plastic needle threader with a magnifying glass and a spindle to hold the thread all mounted on a sturdy plastic stand. Makes threading a needle much easier for people with the use of only one hand.
General Details
Extra product information
The spool holds the thread for easier threading.
The metal threader is elevated on a plastic mount for easier threading.
The magnifying glass is mounted in front of the threader on a stand and makes it easier to see the threading process.
On the backboard there is a moulded plastic holding seam to hold the end of the thread and also a cutter for cutting the thread.
It would be best mounted at eye height if you need to use the magnifying glass.
Method of Use
Step 1: Adjust the magnifier at your best view.
Step 2: Pass the needle eye through the loop of the threader.
Step 3: Guide the thread from the spool through the loop of the threader about 125mm (or a bit longer)
Step 4: Gently raise the needle.
Step 5: After the needle comes out from the threader loop, it will create a thread loop through the needle eye.
Step 6: Pull out one end of the thread from the needle eye and the threader loop.
Step 7: Adjust the length of the thread you need and fix the end of the thread by inserting it into the holding seam, then cut it using the cutter on the back board. You may use a small pair of scissors instead if it's easier.
